Oh, Leverage, no.
Even if you don't watch Leverage, I think that part of the following is still worth reading, as an example of How Not To Invoke Politics In A Lightweight Television Series. Just scroll to where it gets angry.

*happy squeaky noises* Show!
This is a placeholder post to say that I just watched the Leverage two-episode S3 premiere, and show! Yay, show! I missed you!
Proper thoughts tomorrow.
(Parker! Hardison! I missed you! So, so much!)

A friend just sent this to me:
Researchers Identify Bones as Caravaggio's (The New York Times).
ZOMG.
Erm. I mean.
Hooray! This is terribly exciting news! I am terribly excited to hear it!

Oh, reality TV.
Via Jezebel:
Bravo's New Insta-Art Competition Is Not the Death of Culture.
I don't do reality television in the general case, so I'm not going to be watching this (except for, perhaps, the 'best bits' versions via YouTube), but I agree with one of the Jezebel comments in that I really, really want to hear from the people at the Brooklyn Museum ( Read more... ) -
'White Collar Comes Clean' at the Paley Centre, NY (7 June 2010) - Report
Hwæt. So.
I attended the White Collar panel at the Paley Centre in NYC on Monday, 7 June 2010. And it was wonderful!
